<br />:1 <br />I <br /> <br />-------. - <br /> <br />ANIMAS-LA PLATA PROJECT <br /> <br />Operation Study <br /> <br />The attached operation study simulates the movement of water <br />through the project during the 1949-1965 period. All values shown <br />are in thousands of acre-feet (example: 6.3 is 6,300 acre-feet.) <br /> <br />Shown in the study are the end of month (EOM) contents for each <br />reservoir. Inactive capacities are added to the content shown to <br />get the total reservoir capacity (example: Dec., 1949 Ridges Basin <br />Reservoir has 117.0 or 117,000 acre-feet in the active capacity; <br />this means that there are 117,000 + 150,500 = 267,500 acre-feet of <br />water in the reservoir.) Reservoir inactive capacities are shown <br />on a table in project statistics. <br /> <br />For each of the irrigation areas the demand and supply of irri- <br />gation water is shown as well as the shortage that will be allowed <br />under project conditions. The demand is established by a scientific <br />determination of the consumptive use of water for each area and farm <br />and conveyance losses. <br /> <br />The operation study is used to size the different project features. <br />The actual operation of the project will depend on the supply of water <br />in the rivers at the time the project is in use. <br />
